localToGlobal problem

1

i’m trying to suss out the globalToLocal function–here’s the code inside the local MC, per the AS dictionary example:


point = new object();

this.onEnterFrame=function(){
	point.y = _parent._y;
	trace(point.y);
	localToGlobal(point);
	trace(point.y);
}

the traces are showing that the .y property is unchanged, so somehow the localToGlobal function isn’t being invoked (i also tried this.localToGlobal with the same results)

any ideas on what’s going wrong here?
